/**
 * A #GApplication is the foundation of an application.  It wraps some
 * low-level platform-specific services and is intended to act as the
 * foundation for higher-level application classes such as
 * #GtkApplication or #MxApplication.  In general, you should not use
 * this class outside of a higher level framework.
 * 
 * GApplication provides convenient life cycle management by maintaining
 * a "use count" for the primary application instance. The use count can
 * be changed using g_application_hold() and g_application_release(). If
 * it drops to zero, the application exits. Higher-level classes such as
 * #GtkApplication employ the use count to ensure that the application
 * stays alive as long as it has any opened windows.
 * 
 * Another feature that GApplication (optionally) provides is process
 * uniqueness. Applications can make use of this functionality by
 * providing a unique application ID. If given, only one application
 * with this ID can be running at a time per session. The session
 * concept is platform-dependent, but corresponds roughly to a graphical
 * desktop login. When your application is launched again, its
 * arguments are passed through platform communication to the already
 * running program. The already running instance of the program is
 * called the "primary instance"; for non-unique applications this is
 * the always the current instance. On Linux, the D-Bus session bus
 * is used for communication.
 * 
 * The use of #GApplication differs from some other commonly-used
 * uniqueness libraries (such as libunique) in important ways. The
 * application is not expected to manually register itself and check
 * if it is the primary instance. Instead, the main() function of a
 * #GApplication should do very little more than instantiating the
 * application instance, possibly connecting signal handlers, then
 * calling g_application_run(). All checks for uniqueness are done
 * internally. If the application is the primary instance then the
 * startup signal is emitted and the mainloop runs. If the application
 * is not the primary instance then a signal is sent to the primary
 * instance and g_application_run() promptly returns. See the code
 * examples below.
 * 
 * If used, the expected form of an application identifier is very close
 * to that of of a
 * [DBus bus name](http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#message-protocol-names-interface).
 * Examples include: "com.example.MyApp", "org.example.internal-apps.Calculator".
 * For details on valid application identifiers, see g_application_id_is_valid().
 * 
 * On Linux, the application identifier is claimed as a well-known bus name
 * on the user's session bus.  This means that the uniqueness of your
 * application is scoped to the current session.  It also means that your
 * application may provide additional services (through registration of other
 * object paths) at that bus name.  The registration of these object paths
 * should be done with the shared GDBus session bus.  Note that due to the
 * internal architecture of GDBus, method calls can be dispatched at any time
 * (even if a main loop is not running).  For this reason, you must ensure that
 * any object paths that you wish to register are registered before #GApplication
 * attempts to acquire the bus name of your application (which happens in
 * g_application_register()).  Unfortunately, this means that you cannot use
 * g_application_get_is_remote() to decide if you want to register object paths.
 * 
 * GApplication also implements the #GActionGroup and #GActionMap
 * interfaces and lets you easily export actions by adding them with
 * g_action_map_add_action(). When invoking an action by calling
 * g_action_group_activate_action() on the application, it is always
 * invoked in the primary instance. The actions are also exported on
 * the session bus, and GIO provides the #GDBusActionGroup wrapper to
 * conveniently access them remotely. GIO provides a #GDBusMenuModel wrapper
 * for remote access to exported #GMenuModels.
 * 
 * There is a number of different entry points into a GApplication:
 * 
 * - via 'Activate' (i.e. just starting the application)
 * 
 * - via 'Open' (i.e. opening some files)
 * 
 * - by handling a command-line
 * 
 * - via activating an action
 * 
 * The #GApplication::startup signal lets you handle the application
 * initialization for all of these in a single place.
 * 
 * Regardless of which of these entry points is used to start the
 * application, GApplication passes some "platform data from the
 * launching instance to the primary instance, in the form of a
 * #GVariant dictionary mapping strings to variants. To use platform
 * data, override the @before_emit or @after_emit virtual functions
 * in your #GApplication subclass. When dealing with
 * #GApplicationCommandLine objects, the platform data is
 * directly available via g_application_command_line_get_cwd(),
 * g_application_command_line_get_environ() and
 * g_application_command_line_get_platform_data().
 * 
 * As the name indicates, the platform data may vary depending on the
 * operating system, but it always includes the current directory (key
 * "cwd"), and optionally the environment (ie the set of environment
 * variables and their values) of the calling process (key "environ").
 * The environment is only added to the platform data if the
 * %G_APPLICATION_SEND_ENVIRONMENT flag is set. #GApplication subclasses
 * can add their own platform data by overriding the @add_platform_data
 * virtual function. For instance, #GtkApplication adds startup notification
 * data in this way.
 * 
 * To parse commandline arguments you may handle the
 * #GApplication::command-line signal or override the local_command_line()
 * vfunc, to parse them in either the primary instance or the local instance,
 * respectively.
 * 
 * For an example of opening files with a GApplication, see
 * [gapplication-example-open.c](https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/tree/gio/tests/gapplication-example-open.c).
 * 
 * For an example of using actions with GApplication, see
 * [gapplication-example-actions.c](https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/tree/gio/tests/gapplication-example-actions.c).
 * 
 * For an example of using extra D-Bus hooks with GApplication, see
 * [gapplication-example-dbushooks.c](https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/tree/gio/tests/gapplication-example-dbushooks.c).

	/**
	 * Runs the application.
	 *
	 * This function is intended to be run from main() and its return value
	 * is intended to be returned by main(). Although you are expected to pass
	 * the @argc, @argv parameters from main() to this function, it is possible
	 * to pass %NULL if @argv is not available or commandline handling is not
	 * required.  Note that on Windows, @argc and @argv are ignored, and
	 * g_win32_get_command_line() is called internally (for proper support
	 * of Unicode commandline arguments).
	 *
	 * #GApplication will attempt to parse the commandline arguments.  You
	 * can add commandline flags to the list of recognised options by way of
	 * g_application_add_main_option_entries().  After this, the
	 * #GApplication::handle-local-options signal is emitted, from which the
	 * application can inspect the values of its #GOptionEntrys.
	 *
	 * #GApplication::handle-local-options is a good place to handle options
	 * such as `--version`, where an immediate reply from the local process is
	 * desired (instead of communicating with an already-running instance).
	 * A #GApplication::handle-local-options handler can stop further processing
	 * by returning a non-negative value, which then becomes the exit status of
	 * the process.
	 *
	 * What happens next depends on the flags: if
	 * %G_APPLICATION_HANDLES_COMMAND_LINE was specified then the remaining
	 * commandline arguments are sent to the primary instance, where a
	 * #GApplication::command-line signal is emitted.  Otherwise, the
	 * remaining commandline arguments are assumed to be a list of files.
	 * If there are no files listed, the application is activated via the
	 * #GApplication::activate signal.  If there are one or more files, and
	 * %G_APPLICATION_HANDLES_OPEN was specified then the files are opened
	 * via the #GApplication::open signal.
	 *
	 * If you are interested in doing more complicated local handling of the
	 * commandline then you should implement your own #GApplication subclass
	 * and override local_command_line(). In this case, you most likely want
	 * to return %TRUE from your local_command_line() implementation to
	 * suppress the default handling. See
	 * [gapplication-example-cmdline2.c][gapplication-example-cmdline2]
	 * for an example.
	 *
	 * If, after the above is done, the use count of the application is zero
	 * then the exit status is returned immediately.  If the use count is
	 * non-zero then the default main context is iterated until the use count
	 * falls to zero, at which point 0 is returned.
	 *
	 * If the %G_APPLICATION_IS_SERVICE flag is set, then the service will
	 * run for as much as 10 seconds with a use count of zero while waiting
	 * for the message that caused the activation to arrive.  After that,
	 * if the use count falls to zero the application will exit immediately,
	 * except in the case that g_application_set_inactivity_timeout() is in
	 * use.
	 *
	 * This function sets the prgname (g_set_prgname()), if not already set,
	 * to the basename of argv[0].
	 *
	 * Since 2.40, applications that are not explicitly flagged as services
	 * or launchers (ie: neither %G_APPLICATION_IS_SERVICE or
	 * %G_APPLICATION_IS_LAUNCHER are given as flags) will check (from the
	 * default handler for local_command_line) if "--gapplication-service"
	 * was given in the command line.  If this flag is present then normal
	 * commandline processing is interrupted and the
	 * %G_APPLICATION_IS_SERVICE flag is set.  This provides a "compromise"
	 * solution whereby running an application directly from the commandline
	 * will invoke it in the normal way (which can be useful for debugging)
	 * while still allowing applications to be D-Bus activated in service
	 * mode.  The D-Bus service file should invoke the executable with
	 * "--gapplication-service" as the sole commandline argument.  This
	 * approach is suitable for use by most graphical applications but
	 * should not be used from applications like editors that need precise
	 * control over when processes invoked via the commandline will exit and
	 * what their exit status will be.
	 *
	 * Params:
	 *     argc = the argc from main() (or 0 if @argv is %NULL)
